The filibuster is expected to go through the night, against fast-tracked nominees by the Trump Administration. Booker’s protest appears to be in response to a recent wave of Republican nominees being fast-tracked through the confirmation process, many of whom are aligned with Trump’s second-term agenda and Elon Musk’s increasingly influential role in federal advisory circles.
I’m reading articles now that say this technically isn’t a filibuster, but a protest speech. C-SPAN called it a filibuster, so I assumed it was one. I guess we’ll see when it’s over.
